Hi everybody!
New here. I have kept saltwater fish, and seahorses, as well as dwarf seahorses in the past, but it has been 10 years since. I just got the go a head to start a dwaft seahorse tank once again from the hubby, Super excited! It's amazing how much things have changed and adviced in the last 10 years.
I set up my tank today to start cycling. I'm reading a lot to refresh, and learning the latest. If anyone has advice they would like to share from their own experiences please share. Thanks

Welcome!

While much may have changed, your experiences are still relevant. There are multiple articles on R2R regarding seahorses. 'Articles' are along top black bar, and you can put in search criteria. Here is one:

Welcome to the forum. I got started in the salt water hobby with those mail order dwarf sea horses they use to sell. I failed horribly with them. However the salt water fuse was lit. Thanks for asking about the sea horses. Wow it brought back memories. Anyway I’m no help with sea horses. However I’m sure someone on the forum will help you. Again welcome to the forum.
